Brock Lesnar-Paul Heyman Update, Hans Mortier Dies

-- Former WWWF performer Hans Mortier (Jacob Grobbe) passed away at 2Am this morning. He had been battling a long illness, and he will be cremated on Saturday. Mortier was a former body builder and feuded with Bruno Sammartino. Using the full nelson as his finisher, they had the storyline that due to his size and background as a bodybuilder, no one could break the hold. He was built up as a strong challenger to Sammartino, and in the blow off matches for the program, Sammartino would break the hold and retain his title. Mortier also worked under the names Dutch Howlett, the masked Dr. X, Tarzan Zorra (after X was unmasked), The Great Zorro and Lord Charles Montegue. On behalf of all of us, we send our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Jacob " Hans Mortier" Grobbe.

Fans will get an insider's look at Brock's career in the UFC - the training, the competition and what it takes to be, and to remain a champion. Brock will also talk about the illness that nearly killed him, his will to survive, and what he really values and aspires to be.
